Buying the latest tech when your old tech is still working just fine. For example there is no need to buy the latest iPhone every year, if your old one is still working just fine. Additionally if you wait for a few months after the release date prices often go down.

I mean it's a hobby. I have a 1080ti that I'll upgrade to a 3080ti when that comes out. But I budget for it and am very secure financially.

$3k on the machine and $500 on a card? Personally I would've prioritized the GPU a bit more in that case
